This whole thing is overblown. Presidents have updated the white house before.

Headlines everywhere should be “Trump’s White House in Shambles.”

The next Democrat that runs for president should promise to do something with this ballroom. Turn it into a museum of antifascism or something.

“Nobody knows more about construction than me.”

yeah, i was wondering where the AP got their pics; I can’t imagine anyone in this administration would give photogs access to the roof of the treasury building.

Epstein ballroom goes to shit

The same White House that’s called themselves “The Most Transparent Administration In History!”
This is clearly attempt to cover up Trump incompetence. We deserve to see what’s going on in there

He needs space for the giant, naked Epstein statue chasing kids.

Because he’s building a bunker underneath.

Oddly, the ‘Muricans don’t care. They’ll care when they have to pay retail to have the sand medically removed from their ears.

Was browsing many news outlet sites earlier and not one of them mentions this serious atrocity. How unusual.

So… freedom of the press. Except for what he doesn’t want you to know.

Will they be letting people film the um, erection of the Epstein Ballroom after the demolition of the People’s House is comlplete?

trump destroys The People’s House. American voters did this to their own country. Republicans don’t value or cherish anything about our nation. Our history and institutions mean nothing to the GOP.

How do you stop the press from documenting it when it’s right tf there?

Press isn’t restricted in a free country.

billyions on
How can they – America enjoys free speech.
Remember how they misused that to lie to everybody so they could get elected?
Something tells me that this won’t even be done by 2028. The next president will have to deal with all the bullshit and unpaid bills left over. That is IF there is a next president anytime within the next decade.

When this goes to shit, they’re going to end up working out of a temporary trailer like an underfunded public school in the south.

Can they use drones?

How? Fly a drone / chopper over the area and document it. Fuck. That. Guy.
Let’s start a crazy rumor: White House bans press from documenting renovations because Trump is using labor from ice raids.

I was hoping when Trump got into office the first time that he would just be a footnote in history books. Now im not sure if there are going to be history books.

I bet the new ballroom won’t have a concrete roof.

Someone in a building nearby should get a high quality live cam set up zoomed right in on it. (Preferably high up as it would prevent them from hiding it with mesh)

CNN has a [photo](https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/harbath-eastwing.jpg?c=original&q=w_679,c_fill/f_webp) taken from a passenger plane.
Or so they think…
So much for freedom of the press.
How transparent of them
It can be filmed from a distance.
Fuck it. I hope they keep documenting it anyway.
